Greg Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas, has spearheaded a manufactured political crisis over the state of the US-Mexico border for years. Not content to send hundreds of non-consenting migrants to Democrat-run cities by the busload, Abbott's latest stunts have now brought him into confrontation with the federal government over the border. Jim Hightower and David Griscom return to The Marc Steiner Show to discuss the impact of Abbott's standoff on border communities and migrants.

Jim Hightower is a national radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and author of the book, "Swim Against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go With the Flow". He publishes the monthly "Hightower Lowdown." David Griscom is a writer and Texan based in Austin and the cohost of the podcast Left Reckoning.
